    Ha! I see my reputation has proceeded me!

    I'll be out there early as usual, but unfortunately I left most of my money in LA at the Roadster Show last weekend. :eek:

    I will be out there with my girlfriend selling Saturday and Sunday. I will have a cooler full of cold water for any HAMBrs that want to stop by. Look for the big overgrown hillbilly with the big mustache wearing a sleeveless fire department shirt selling out of the back of a white Toyota pickup.

    I went this morning and didn't find anything but some cut-off wheel discs from the tool guy. Kinda disappointing.

    It was probably the hottest weather of any swap meet I've ever been to...at least in recent memory. No breeze and a lot of humidity plus 100 degree temperatures and pavement equals HOT.

    I forgot to say , did anyone notice the old 50s speed boat with the V-8 60 in it on the far south row, it was to neat for words, but lived a hard life.

    I meant to go but had enough of the heat, played softball Tuesday and Thursday during the day and had enough...

    at 68 yrs, the heat seems to be giving me more of a problem then in the past.. I usually enjoy being out side but..

    I am even thinking about having someone install me an automatic in my ride and replace the muncie four speed... I must be losing my mind....lol

    glad you all enjoyed the meet and sold a few parts, ever one comes out in the end on that deal.

    I saw it come by on its way out. Cool old boat. I forgot my camera so hopefully somebody else took a pic of it to share.

    I bought a ton of good stuff, and sold very little stuff. We packed it up at 10 this morning. No one was shopping today.
